When and How to Use Perfect Keto Perform Pre-Workout

Disclaimer

Most pre-workout powders are not ketogenic. You get a load of not-so-hidden carbs in one gulp of your regular workout drink mix. So many garbage ingredients like sucralose that spike glucose and set you back in your ketone production. Artificial flavors, binding agents, emulsifiers that cause GI distress and inflammation. And most don’t have ketones, which you absolutely need as an energy source while on a ketogenic diet. That’s where this new tool from Perfect Keto comes in, and this guide aims to help you make the most of Perfect Keto Perform Pre-workout: the only keto sports drink!

What is Perfect Keto Perform Pre-workout?

Every scoop of Keto Perform is a powerful mix of amino acids, MCTs, ketones and caffeine scientifically proven to give you a clean energy boost and help muscle growth, designed to fuel and support any type of workout while on the ketogenic diet.

You need your mind and body working in sync. The ingredients of Keto Perform Pre-workout give you everything you need for performance.

BHB for Energy and Mental Acuity
One serving of Keto Perform Pre-workout gives you 7.7g of BHB. Beta-hydroxybutyrate is the first ketone body that kicks the metabolic state of ketosis into action. You get it from good fats like eggs, milk, cream, butter and ghee, and from exogenous ketones.

BHB gets carried around in your blood and enters your cells, turning into acetoacetate (another ketone body), which in turn becomes acetoacetyl-CoA, which cleaves to acetone (another ketone body) and acetyl-CoA.

Acetyl-CoA brings the ketones to the Krebs cycle, so you get adenosine 5’-triphosphate, or ATP, a.k.a the money! The energy coins of your cells. Therefore, BHB = ATP = energy.

Most importantly, energy in the brain, too. BHB has an in with our brains. There’s no blood-brain barrier (BBB). BHB is so good when it comes to mental acuity it’s even proven beneficial to Alzheimer’s and dementia patients.[*]

MCTs: For Fast and Sustained Energy
You get it straight up from MCT oil powder and ketone supplements, and the following fat sources are loaded with MCTs: coconut oil and palm oil, milk, butter or ghee, cheese, and yogurt.

MCTs help with appetite suppression, metabolism, and weight loss.[*] MCTs are also antioxidants, helping with cognitive function [*] and so good at reducing internal inflammation and feeding your cells to keep your heart, brain and nervous system on top form, that they’ve been proven to help epileptic patients. [*]

One scoop of Keto Perform Pre-workout contains 5g MCTs. Medium-chain triglycerides are famous, well-loved easily digestible fatty acids, easy to convert into ketones for energy, making it important in the ketogenic diet.

For your workout, you can’t do better than the instant clean energy that comes from MCTs.

Creatine

Creatine is for bone and muscle strength, heart and brain protection, performance and lean body mass. Each scoop of Keto Perform Pre-workout has 2g of creatine. Creatine increases your body’s ability to produce energy fast through cellular hydration.[*] BHB aids acetyl groups– creatine works with phosphate groups, storing them into phosphocreatine, which releases energy for cellular function during stress– e.g., weight-lifting, running, high intensity training. [*]

You get creatine naturally from most of the fat and protein sources in the ketogenic diet: meat, eggs, fish. Supplementing your creatine intake has neuroprotective and cardioprotective properties. It’s popular with weight-lifters because of that. [*]

BCAA’s (2:1:1)
BCAA’s are for muscle growth and preservation and fatigue prevention. Speaking of weight lifters, BCAA is also popular in the body building set. Every scoop of Keto Perform Pre-workout has 2g of 2:1:1 BCAA, branched chain amino acids, composed of leucine, isoleucine and valine. Together, they promote muscle protein synthesis and cellular glucose uptake.

The effect is muscle growth and better endurance especially if you’re new to the ketogenic diet and an active lifestyle. [*]

Beta-alanine
Beta-alanine is added for its muscular and cardiovascular endurance benefits. Beta-alanine is a modification of the amino acid alanine. Every scoop of Keto Perform Pre-workout has 1.5g of beta-alanine, which is proven to buffer acidosis in muscles,[*] and through that, promote muscle endurance and more power output during training. [*]

Together with creatine, beta-alanine has been shown to improve cardiopulmonary fitness [*] and, in another study, showed improvement in athlete women’s performance and lean mass. [*]

Beta-alanine is the carnosine precursor, important in protein metabolism and an acid buffer your cells store and use during diet-induced pH drops, which can occur in ketosis.

Beta-alanine (and carnosine) are found in abundance in beef, pork and poultry. Because of carnosine’s importance in protein metabolism and skeletal-muscular strength, scientists are studying if carnosine should be recommended as a supplement to vegans and vegetarians.

L-citrulline
L-citrulline is included to help with endurance and preventive for muscle soreness. L-citrulline is another popular amino acid when it comes to sports and training. Keto Perform Pre-workout has 500mg L-citrulline in every scoop, for reduced muscle soreness, and better endurance for your workouts.

In a study, [*] weight lifters “performed as many reps as possible until fatigue for multiple sets.” Citrulline supplementation “was able to delay fatigue and promote more reps performed per set for all sets except the first two and reduced post-workout muscle soreness.”

Better than arginine
L-citrulline is also a reservoir and precursor of arginine, an amino acid that helps with blood flow and nitric oxide activity in the body (vascular relaxation, anti-inflammation, blood pressure regulation). But arginine is poorly absorbed before it can perform any of the above. L-citrulline, turning into arginine in the kidneys, has a better absorption rate and is proven to increase arginine plasma levels better than arginine. [*]

Green Tea Caffeine
Keto Perform Pre-workout contains 50mg caffeine from green tea. We all know the perk-up effect of caffeine. What’s interesting is how green tea catechins negate the blood pressure and heart rate elevation caused by caffeine. [*]

Green tea’s EGCG (the catechin epigallocatechin-3-gallate) is also a potent anti-inflammatory. Many of us also know that green tea and green tea extracts help with weight loss through fat oxidation. [*]

How to Use Perfect Keto Perform

We recommend 1/2 scoop to start and work up to 1 scoop and then decide what is best for you. Some keto-ers use 2 scoops a day. Mix it with water or your current favorite drink. It’s in lemon flavor: play with it in your green juices and keto smoothies.

  1. Given the caloric intake of 1 scoop- is this likely to break my fast? And I have a high caffeine tolerance so is there any plans in the future to increase the caffeine levels per scoop?

  2. hi – my husband and I have just started taking this supp prior to a CF WOD and have noticed within 5 mins of taking it, a slightly burning and tingling feeling on the side of our faces and for me also in my palms. It doesnt last long, just wondered if this is an allergic reaction or something in the product? Is this ok?

    1. Hi Christine, the tingling feeling you may experience is often the effects of beta-alanine, a keto-friendly ingredient we’ve included in the formula. If you’re new to beta-alanine, your body may exhibit this response quite surprisingly. This is a harmless side effect and should last no longer than 60-90 minutes and will decrease with continued supplementation.

      We recommend that you slowly ramp up your regimen from 1/2 scoop and work up to 1 scoop and then decide what is best for you. Mix 1/2 – 1 scoop with 8-10 ounces of water or your favorite low carb beverage, 15-30 minutes before exercise. If you are working out for more than an hour, use 1/2 scoop per hour.

  3. Will this pre workout break my fast? I train early morning fasted and sometimes I could use a little boost.

    1. Hi Windy, it generally shouldn’t break your fast but some people are a bit more sensitive than others. It will still depend on the goal of your fast. If it is just for ketosis, then you are golden.
